“bought a Ororo x OpenHeat OH-1 women’s Heated Recycled Fleece Vest(w/Type-C Power Port) and a battery ( PD 5 K Rechargeable Battery ( USB-C, 24 w power Delivery) and I am so happy with this vest. I love the light weight of the vest. It feels so good! This vest heats up wonderfully also.
It even has a Turbo heated mode for faster warmth. I have other Ororo products (a vest, a raincoat, a hoodie, 2 jackets) and none of the had the turbo feature!!!
It does take a different battery and charger so be sure to buy battery too. I wasn’t sure about the “openheat line but it is Ororo just a tad different.
Ororo is a great product and I will continue purchasing ( don’t tell the Hubbie). I do stay cold and love this vest to wear indoors or outside.
The battery is “hidden” in the front pocket, kinda cool lol. We searched but finally “read “ the product tag. It was fun actually trying to beat hubbie in finding it but atlas he found it!
I am 5’3 and weight about 150. I bought the Large and I am Very happy with that size. Most of my other purchases were a Medium or Large.
I also have a dog and a grand puppy that likes to go outside and this vest works great, not bulky but warm.
Did u know u can wash the vest, you Can!!! Put in a Mesh Bag( buy from Ororo, they have the correct sizes)take battery out and wash but don’t dry, washes great.
I do love the heated pockets, what girl doesn’t
You can not go wrong with any or all of Ororo products but this one is amazing!
Ororo has great customer service so if you have any problems they will help you out.
I have been buying Ororo products for over 8 years and Ororo stands behind their products in service and quality products. There are other heated products but none meets the standards of Ororo! Bottom line…..buy Ororo❤️”
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your evaluation of this OpenHeat heating vest, and also for your continued trust in ororo over the years.
I'm very glad that the lightweight design, heating effect and Turbo quick heating mode of this vest have all met your expectations. Also, thank you for reminding other customers about the need to purchase the battery and charger separately. This is very practical for new users.
The washing method you mentioned (removing the batteries, putting them in a mesh bag and washing in the machine, and not allowing to dry) as well as the size selection are all very helpful reference information.
Thank you again for your sincere recommendation.
“I love my new heated vest. It is lightweight, classic and goes with everything. I have worn it with pants, a skirt and a dress. It is very versatile. I have had a lot of compliments on this vest.
Just remember to purchase the new PD 5K Rechargeable Battery to with it. I found out the batteries for my Ororo jackets are not compatible. The battery last for at least 6 hours when fully charged.”
Thank you for your love and sincere sharing! Seeing that you paired this heating vest with pants, skirts, and even dresses, and still received so much praise, we are truly delighted. This is the best affirmation of the design. We also thank you very much for specially reminding other customers about the compatibility of the new battery PD 5K. This is indeed a key piece of information that people often overlook when making purchases. We are glad that the new battery can still provide you with lasting warmth. Once again, thank you for your support and understanding. We wish you a happy day!
“The vest is lightweight, not thick, and perfect length for what I was looking for. I live in Iowa and the outdoor elements are constantly chaning. This is a great option for the nights when I get cold but don't want a heavy jacket. I have another vest in an XL, so I sized down to a large in hopes to keeping more of the heat in. It is a bit snug but will work if you don't have anything bulky underneath. If you are looking for something that will keep you warm for longer than 4 hours (which I work 6+ hours outside) make sure you have another battery pack available. :)”
Hi Heather, thank you for the 4-star review and for sharing your helpful sizing and battery tips! We are so glad to hear that this lightweight fleece vest is the perfect fit for managing Iowa's changing weather during your long outdoor workdays.
